Ingredients:
- 2 packets LonoLife Unflavored Collagen Peptides
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground chipotle chili pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups sweet potato, cooked and grated
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking the burgers) For Serving
- 100% whole wheat hamburger buns
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh salsa
- Greek yogurt
- Fresh butter lettuce
DIRECTIONS:
Place the ground turkey, garlic, chipotle chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Combine with your hands. Gently fold in the grated sweet potato and cilantro. Form the mixture into 4-6 large patties (about 1/2-inch thick). Generously drizzle a large, non-stick skillet with olive oil and heat over medium. Once hot, place the patties on the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, flip then cook 1 additional minute. With a cover for the skillet ready in one hand, pour a couple tablespoons of water into the skillet. Quickly cover the skillet with the lid. Let the burgers steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Serve the burgers on whole wheat buns, topped with sliced avocado, salsa, lettuce and Greek yogurt cream, as desired. Enjoy!
